THE PUNISHER EXTENDED CUT DVD

Lionsgate has provided The Continuum with images from the upcoming The Punisher Extended Cut DVD, due in stores on Nov. 21.

In addition to 17 minutes of new footage integraed into the film, The Punisher Extended Cut also includes a unique extra -- an animated version of "The Kuwait Scene," which was originally slated to open the film but was never shot due to budgetary constraints.

Illustrated by The Punisher cover artist Tim Bradstreet, the impressionistic action sequence stars Thomas Jane and Russell Andrews. Viewers will have the option of playing the animation before the picture begins so the scene can be appreciated within its original planned context.

The DVD contains other new features, including The Punisher comic book gallery, new Bradstreet illustrations and a "making of" featurette.
